SLEEVE LINING.

Application filed November 29, 1922 Serial No. 603,967.

To all whom it may concern:

Be'it knownzthat SAMUEL COHEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 1147 Lincoln Avenue, St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and- State ofMinnesota, has in vented certain-new and. useful Improvementsin Sleeve. Linings, of. which the following isba' specification. My invention relates to sleeves, and more particularly to sleeves of easily stretched material such as leather.

The, object of my invention'is to prevent the. stretching of sleeves formed of leather whereby the shape. of the sleeves at the elbows may be maintained. evenafter long continued use and in addition the life of the sleeves is greatly prolonged; Y

Another object of my invention is. to .con-.

struct agsleeve wherein .the reinforcing means can be applied together-with a portion "of the sleeve which it isdesired to reinforce, thus effecting a saving of time and labor. i

V A still further object of my invention is to so attach the non-stretching reinforcing means that there shall be a slight giving or flexing of-the. leather of the sleeve on movement of'the arm in order to-permit the leather to be kept, soft prolong its. life. la;

Heretofore the leather sleeves of coats that had-been worn for any considerable time became baggy at the elbow. This oc: curredbecause at each bending of the elbow the leather was stretched and after repeated and pliable and to stretohings the leather lost its elasticity and thematerial became permanently stretched.

Not only is theabove true, but whereleather is stretched to itsutmost. as when the arm is bent in leaning on a counter, thechances of abrasion and wear by friction are great, and in the portion of the sleeve in proximity to the elbow, by reason of this exterior and interior abrasion, the sleeve quickly Wears out.

It is to overcome this difiiculty existing in the present-day leather garments that this-invention was conceived. In one form of my invention I provide the leather sleeve with. a lining strip of non-stretching ma.-

- tached thereto in the usual manner.

- sleeve.

"just above the wrist to a short distance above the elbow. .The lining strip is firmly fa'stened to the interior of the leather sleeve .by a plurality of rows of stitching which hold .it firmly in place. In another modification the lining may be extended from the armpit to the wrist.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is, a perspective view showing the position ofthe lining in the sleeve,sucl1 lining being indicated in dotted lines;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a sleeve turned wrong side out, showing the lining in place; I Fig. 3 is'a cross section taken on the line 3- of Fig.2;

Fig. 4 is a detail of the two-part leather sleeve turned inside out, with portions of the lining and the lower part of the sleeve turned back to show the form of stitching; f

The

Fig, 6 is a bottom plan of a sleeve'turned inside out with part of the lining turned away showing the leather behind the lining.

In the drawings I V have illustrated a leathercoat 1, having a leather sleeve 2 atleather sleeve is formed of two parts, each of which forms substantially one-half ofthe The front part 3 is made slightly broader than the back part 4:. Thefront The part 3 of the sleeves has turned under edges 5 towhichare sewed the edges 6 of the back part 4 of the sleeve.

The back part 4 of the sleeve is divided into an upper part .7. and a lower part 8.

-' The upper part 7 extends downward to a point above the elbow and has a turned up end 9. The lowerpart'S is adapted to fit under the turnedup end 9. The position of the lower part 8-with respect to the upper part 7 can be plainly seen by reference to Fig. 4 which illustrates a sleeveturned inside out. Y

' Thefolded over edge 5 of the front part 3 of the sleeve is sewed to the edge of. the upper part 7 by a doublero-W of stitching. 11.. The lower part 8 of the sleeve is sewedto the front part 3'by meansof acontinuw tion of the same double row of stitching. This double row of stitching in the lower part of the sleeve not only holds the lower part 8 to the upper part 7 but also holds a strip of non-stretching material 12, such" as anv of the kinds of non-stretchin cloth on.

the market or any other desired material, to the lower part 8 of the sleeve. The nonstretching material 12 is slightly larger than the adjacent sleeve portion to which it is secured so as to allow a certain optimum degree of stretching to keep the leather live and prolong its life, but the material.

12 is so adjusted as to prevent the. leather from being subjected to; any excessive or deleterious strain. This double row of stitching 11 holds the non-stretching ma-.

terial 12 firmly to the lower part 8 of the sleeve which is ordinarily subj ected; to corn siderable stretching strain in moving. the arm.

A double row of stitching 13 holds thenon-stretching material 12 to the'lower part 8 of the sleeve at the top and the stitches pass through the up-turned edge 9 of the upper part 7 of the sleeve, binding the whole together.

the non-stretching material 12 to the lower part 8.

In another modification such as is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, I have shown the leather sleeve as comprising the usual front part 3, and the back part is formed of a plurality of pieces 20, which I haveshown as three in number though there may be a greater or less number of them. The non-stretching material 12 extends all the way from the armpit to the wrist. Since there is considerable strain at the armpit, the fact that the non-stretching lining material .12 is sewed- With the leather to the body of the sleeve by a double row of stitching 21, tendsto make a much stronger constructlon. A large portion of the strain when bending the armcomes on the seam at the arm-hole, butthe perforations of the needle in sewing the sleeve to the body will not weaken the struc-' ture at all and the leather will be prevented from tearing.

The fact that the back part or under sleeve is generally formed of two or more pieces which must be sewn together, renders this modification extremely useful since'the juncture of these leather pieces is sewed to the lining by double rows of stitching indicated at 22.

By reason of the plurality of rows of stitching fastening the edges of the strip of non-stretching material to the leatherof the sleeve, the leather cannot stretch. This prevents eventual loss of elasticity and consequent bagginess common to leather sleeves of garments after continued wear. The

At the bottom of the lower part 8 of the sleeve a row of stitching 14 holds great savmg..of=t1me, and, moreover,wg1v1ng:

a very strong construction. :4 While I have shown and described .the pres ferredemb-odiment ofmy invention; 1 Wish.- it tobe understood .thataI do-not confine, myself to the precisezdeta-ils of';constructi0n herein set forth; byway-:of illustration,as.it
